COMMERCIAL  FERTILIZERS. 

By   P.    L.    HlBBARD. 

This  bulletin  comprises  the  results  of  the  fertilizer  inspection  work 
of  the  California  Fertilizer  Control  for  the  fiscal  year  ending  June  30, 
1916. 

Purpose  and  Functions  of  the  Fertilizer  Control. 

The  duty  of  the  Fertilizer  Control  is : 

First:  To  issue  certificates  of  registration  to  manufacturers  and 
dealers  who  have  complied  with  the  law  by  filing  a  sworn  statement  of 
composition  and  sources  of  the  fertilizers  they  wish  to  sell. 

Second:  To  analyze  these  fertilizers  as  found  in  the  open  market  and 
publish  the  results  for  the  information  of  the  public.  If  a  manufac- 
turer sells  fertilizers  which  are  materially  below  his  guarantee  in  com- 
position or  value  he  is  subject  to  prosecution  and  fine.  By  this  means 
it  is  intended  to  insure  to  purchasers  that  the  fertilizers  they  buy  shall 
be  substantially  as  good  as  represented. 

By  a  study  of  the  reports  of  analyses  of  fertilizers,  the  consumer 
should  be  able  to  determine  whether  the  materials  he  buys  are  sold  for 
a  fair  price,  and  whether  he  obtains  fertilizers  of  the  desired  composi- 
tion. In  short,  the  function  of  the  Fertilizer  Control  is  to  see  that  the 
manufacturer  gives  the  consumer  a  square  deal. 

Maintenance  of  Guarantees. 

Every  manufacturer  is  required  by  law  to  guarantee  the  percentage 
of  nitrogen,  phosphoric  acid  and  potash  in  the  fertilizers  he  sells. 
Owing  to  difficulties  of  sampling  and  analysis  the  law  permits  a  maxi- 
mum deficiency  of  0.25%  nitrogen,  1.00%  phosphoric  acid,  0.50% 
potash  from  the  figures  guaranteed.  Greater  deficiencies  than  these 
are  regarded  as  infractions  of  the  law,  for  which  the  manufacturer 
may  be  prosecuted  and  fined.  Such  deficiencies  are  indicated  in  the 
report  of  analyses  in  black  face  type. 

Some  manufacturers  uphold  their  guarantees  better  than  others. 
The  following  table  is  a  condensed  report  of  the  deficiencies  found  in 
the  main  table  of  analyses.  It  summarizes  the  work  done  in  this 
laboratory  on  each  manufacturer's  goods.  The  columns  headed 
Deficiencies — per  cent  of  possible,  may  be  used  for  comparison  of  the 
various  companies  as  to  probability  of  meeting  their  guarantees.  The 
other  columns  are  necessary  to  show  how  these  figures  were  obtained. 
In  cases  where  very  few  analyses  are  reported  for  a  manufacturer,  the 
figures  should  be  taken  with  caution,  as  perhaps  not  properly  repre- 
sentative.    "When  several  samples  of  one  manufacturer's  goods  were

analyzed  the  figures  may  be  accepted  as  probably  a  fair  indication  of 
the  reliability  of  his  guarantee. 

In  general,  manufacturers  have  more  than  maintained  their  guaran- 
tees, so  that  an  average  of  all  the  analyses  would  show  a  substantial 
increase  over  the  amount  guaranteed. 

This  table  is  a  condensed  statement  of  the  performances  of  each 
company  during  the  fiscal  year  1915-16,  and  as  such  may  be  an  indica- 
tion of  what  may  be  expected  in  the  future.  A  manufacturer  who 
maintained  his  guarantees  well  last  year  will  probably  do  the  same  this 
year.

Owing  to  the  possibility  of  misunderstanding,  the  figures  for  per- 
centage deficiencies  are  not  given  in  above  table  in  cases  where  less  than 
4  samples  were  analyzed. 

Fertilizers  sold  on  Station  analysis,  and  some  others,  are  not  given  a 
valuation  in  the  table  of  analyses,  hence  the  number  of  such  samples  is 
deducted  from  the  total  number  analyzed,  in  computing  deficiencies  in 
valuation. 


[Bulletin  272]  commercial  fertilizers.  49 

Mechanical  Condition  of  Fertilizers. 

A  good  degree  of  fineness  is  one  of  the  essential  qualities  of  a  good 
fertilizer.  It  may  be  assumed  as  generally  true  that  the  finer  the 
material  the  higher  the  availability,  hence  the  consumer  should  insist 
on  having  finely  ground  fertilizers.  Unfortunately  some  manufacturers 
are  at  times  careless  in  regard  to  the  fineness  of  their  goods.  The 
insistent  demand  of  the  consumer  is  the  most  effective  means  of  cor- 
recting such  carelessness. 

Besides  the  low  agricultural  availability  and  the  difficulty  in  applying 
coarse  fertilizers,  it  is  almost  impossible  to  obtain  a  satisfactorily  repre- 
sentative sample  of  such  goods  for  analysis.  This  is  a  prolific  source  of 
dissatisfaction  and  disagreement  between  buyers  and  sellers.  During 
handling  and  transportation  a  coarsely  ground  tankage  will  separate 
so  that  the  top  of  the  sack  contains  the  coarser  material,  high  in  nitro- 
gen, while  the  bottom  contains  the  finer  parts  of  bone,  high  in  phos- 
phoric acid.  A  mixture  of  coarse  bone  meal  with  sulfate  of  potash  will 
separate  into  coarse  bone  at  the  top  and  excess  of  potash  at  the  bottom.. 

One  of  the  chief  reasons  for  the  existence  of  the  fertilizer  manufac- 
turer is  that  he  is  better  prepared  than  the  farmer  to  grind  and  mix 
the  goods  he  sells,  and  the  farmer  should  insist  that  he  do  it  well. 

Caution  in  Regard  to  Labeling  Fertilizer  Packages. 

The  law  expressly  states  that  every  package  of  fertilizer  shall  be 
accompanied  by  a  plainly  printed  label  giving  the  brand  name,  analysis, 
and  source  of  the  materials  in  the  package.  This  requirement  is  not 
satisfactorily  met  by  some  manufacturers  and  dealers.  Farmers  are 
hereby  cautioned  that  if  they  buy  improperly  or  inadequately  labeled 
fertilizers  or  goods  not  sold  by  properly  registered  dealers  or  their 
authorized  agents  they  may  lose  the  protection  afforded  by  the  Fer- 
tilizer Control.  Consumers  should  insist  that  fertilizer  tags  show 
plainly  both  the  percentage  and  the  derivation  of  each  ingredient.  A 
verbal  statement  given  by  the  selling  agent  should  not  be  accepted  as 
adequate.  The  honest  manufacturer  is  willing  to  guarantee  his  goods 
properly,  and  the  farmer  will  best  serve  his  own  interest  by  dealing 
with  no  other. 

Proper  Basis  for  Buying  Fertilizers. 

For  the  purpose  of  this  discussion,  a  fertilizer  is  a  material  furnishing 
plant  food,  specifically,  nitrogen,  phosphoric  acid  or  potash.  Lime, 
gypsum,  humus,  etc.,  are  often  of  great  use  in  improving  crops,  but 
they  are  not  to  be  regarded  as  fertilizers  in  the  sense  here  meant. 

Now,  if  the  farmer  will  realize  that  in  buying  fertilizers  he  is  really 
buying  nitrogen,  phosphoric  acid,  or  potash,  nothing  else,  he  will  have 

2 — 25292 


50  UNIVERSITY    OF    CALIFORNIA EXPERIMENT    STATION. 

the  only  solid  basis  on  which  to  calculate  the  commercial  value  of  the 
goods  purchased.  He  should  pay  only  the  fair  market  price  for  value 
received.  Consequently  the  price  should  depend  entirely  on  the 
amount  of  plant  food.  The  amount  of  plant  food  can  be  found  in  only 
one  way,  by  chemical  analysis.  Therefore,  the  price  should  depend  on 
the  result  of  chemical  analysis.  In  the  language  of  dealers,  this  is 
known  as  buying  on  the  unit  basis.  A  dealer  buys  100  tons  of  tankage 
guaranteed  to  contain  8  per  cent  of  nitrogen  and  8  per  cent  of  phos- 
phoric acid,  at  a  price  of  $3.40  per  unit  for  the  nitrogen  and  90  cents 
per  unit  for  the  phosphoric  acid.  This  makes  it  cost  $34.40  per  ton. 
But  if  the  analysis  shows  7  per  cent  nitrogen  and  10  per  cent  phos- 
phoric acid,  on  the  same  basis,  the  cost  would  be  $32.80  per  ton.  In 
other  words,  the  dealer  pays  for  just  what  he  gets  in  plant  food,  and 
for  nothing  else.  The  farmer  should  buy  on  the  same  basis.  In  buying 
on  the  unit  basis  the  farmer  should  escape  the  high  price  of  plant  food 
usually  paid  for  it  when  buying  low-priced  fertilizers  by  the  ton.  The 
farmer  should  avoid  the  dealer  who  is  not  willing  to  sell  on  the  unit 
basis. 

Deficiencies. 

In  the  analyses  of  the  above  samples,  the  following  number  ot 
deficiencies  greater  than  allowed  by  law  occurred: 

Available  phosphoric  acid  (total  when  available  is  not  guaranteed) 21 

Total   nitrogen    46 

Potash    8 

In  valuation 33 

These  deficiencies  were  found  in  63  samples. 

The  fertilizer  law  allows  a  deficiency  of  0.25  per  cent  in  nitrogen, 
0.50  per  cent  in  potash,  and  1  per  cent  in  available  phosphoric  acid. 

Fertilizer  Valuations. 

The  calculations  of  the  commercial  values  of  the  fertilizers  here 
reported  are  made  on  the  so-called  unit  basis.  Such  calculations 
consist  simply  in  multiplying  the  number  of  per  cent  of  each  ingredient 
by  the  price  per  unit  and  adding  the  products.  The  sum  thus  obtained 
is  the  commercial  value  per  ton  at  the  prices  used.  If  it  is  desired  to 
use  such  a  calculation  for  determining  the  amount  which  should  be 
paid  for  goods,  or  the  rebate  to  which  the  buyer  is  entitled  owing  to 
the  goods  delivered  being  below  the  guaranty,  it  can  only  be  satisfac- 
torily done  if  a  definite  price  per  unit  has  been  agreed  upon  between 
buyer  and  seller.  But  for  the  mere  purpose  of  showing  the  relative 
values  of  goods  to  guaranties,  it  is  not  at  all  necessary  that  the  prices 
adopted  should  be  the  exact  market  prices.  Thus  it  is  that  the  Fertil- 
izer Control  in  attempting  to  show  the  relation  between  values  found 


[Bulletin  272]  commercial  fertilizers.  51 

and  values  claimed,  uses  a  schedule  which  is  admittedly  only  an  ap- 
proximate average  of  market  values.  Owing  to  market  fluctuations, 
differences  in  cost  of  delivery  at  different  points,  and  other  causes,  the 
obtaining  of  true  average  market  prices  is  an  impossibility.  But  if  the 
reader  will  bear  in  mind  the  true  purpose  of  the  valuations  reported, 
these  will  have  served  their  turn  and  he  will  not  be  led  to  assume  that 
the  Experiment  Station  is  dictating  the  prices  at  which  goods  shall  be 
sold.     Valuations  thus  construed  should  serve  two  purposes. 

(a)  To  show  whether  a  certain  fertilizer  is  commercially  worth  its 
cost. 

(&)  As  a  measure  for  comparing  the  commercial  values  of  different 
brands,  thus  enabling  the  buyer  to  select  that  brand  which  will  give  him 
the  greatest  value  for  the  money  he  spends.

These  prices  are  intended  to  represent  approximate  wholesale  cost 
of  unmixed  fertilizer  materials  at  California  freight  terminals.  Be- 
sides this,  retail  prices  must  include  cost  of  mixing,  transportation, 
storage,  selling,  long  credits,  bad  debts,  etc. 

Present  market  quotations  of  high-grade  potash  salts  are  much  above 
those  here  given;  but  as  these  materials  are  now  practically  not 
obtainable  for  fertilizer  purposes,  it  seems  advisable  to  use  about  the 
same  figure  that  prevailed  before  the  present  disturbance  began,  for 
calculating  the  value  of  the  small  amounts  of  potash  in  mixed  goods. 

Scope  of  Inspection. 

During  the  year  507  samples  of  fertilizers  and  fertilizing  materials 
have  been  received  at  this  laboratory.  Of  this  number  25  were  sent 
by  farmers  under  the  two-dollar  fee  provision,  174  were  taken  by 
inspectors  from  purchasers'  goods  upon  the  request  of  the  purchasers, 
and  283  were  taken  by  inspectors  from  goods  in  the  hands  of  agents 


52  UNIVERSITY   OF    CALIFORNIA EXPERIMENT    STATION. 

and  manufacturers.  On  17  samples  the  analysis  as  reported  was  used 
as  a  basis  of  settlement  by  mutual  agreement  of  buyer  and  seller.*  No 
guaranty  was  required  or  given  with  goods  sold  under  such  agreement. 
Twenty-five  samples  of  a  miscellaneous  nature  are  omitted  from  the 
tables. 

The  following  classification  may  be  made  of  samples  reported  in  this 
bulletin : 

Bat    guano    4 

Blood    - 56 

Bone    meal    49

Registered  Manufacturers  and  Dealers. 

The  following  manufacturers  and  dealers  in  commercial  fertilizers 
have  obtained  certificates  of  registration  under  the  provisions  of  the 
California  fertilizer  law,  for  the  fiscal  year  beginning  July  1,  1915. 
A  list  is  also  given  of  the  brands  of  fertilizers  and  fertilizer  materials 
offered  for  sale  by  them.  According  to  the  sworn  returns  of  dealers 
registered  for  the  fiscal  year  ending  June  30,  1915,  their  entire  sales 
in  the  state  amounted  to  31,540  tons.  Incomplete  returns  for  the  year 
ending  June  30,  1916,  indicate  approximately  29,000  tons. 

No  dealer  or  manufacturer,  except  those  who  have  certificates  of 
registration  from  the  University  of  California,  and  their  authorized 
agents,  can  legally  sell  fertilizers  in  this  state.  No  person  or  company 
has  any  right  to  use  any  registration  number  except  in  connection  with 
the  firm  name  to  which  the  registration  certificate  of  such  number  has 
been  issued ;  and  no  person  or  company  to  whom  a  registration  number 
has  been  assigned  has  any  right  to  give  any  other  person  or  company 
permission  to  use  said  registration  number,  and  any  number  so  used  is 
a  fraud.  No  agent  has  any  right  to  use  his  principal's  registration 
number  in  connection  with  his  own  name. 

The  total  number  of  brands  registered  by  manufacturers  was  363,  of 
which  152  brands,  equal  to  42  per  cent  of  the  total,  were  found  by 
inspectors  and  analyzed. 

♦Besides  these  a  considerable  number  of  the  remaining  purchasers'  analyses  were  doubtless  used 
subsequently    as   a    basis   of   settlement,    but   without   being    reported   to   this   office.

Report  of  Analyses. 

Available  phosphoric  acid  is  not  determined  in  bone  meal,  tankage, 
and  Thomas  phosphate  powder,  unless  requested.  The  fineness  of  these 
materials  is  determined,  fine  and  medium  bone  being  separated  by  a 
sieve  of  50  meshes  to  the  inch ;  tankage  by  a  25-mesh  sieve ;  and  Thomas 
phosphate  powder  by  a  100-mesh  sieve. 

Nitrogen  in  ammonium  salts  will,  in  some  cases,  be  found  reported 
when  nitrogen  in  this  form  is  not  guaranteed.  In  some  of  such  cases 
this  form  of  nitrogen  is  produced  by  conversion  of  organic  nitrogen 
during  process  of  manufacture,  and  is  not  to  be  considered  a  deviation 
from  guaranty  of  materials  used.  Guanos  carry  more  or  less  nitrogen 
in  nitrates  and  ammonium  salts,  and  when  any  appreciable  quantity  of 
guano  is  used  the  manufacturer  should  take  into  account  the  fact  that 
some  nitrogen  will  show  as  nitrates  and  ammonium  salts.  The  failure 
to  take  this  into  consideration  may  perhaps  account  for  the  appearance 
of  these  forms  of  nitrogen  in  some  samples  in  which  only  organic 
nitrogen  was  guaranteed. 

The  percentage  of  chlorin  is  given  when  it  exceeds  0.50  per  cent. 
It  is  a  matter  of  only  technical  interest  whether  chlorin  present  is  from 
muriate  of  potash,  kainit,  or  from  common  salt  that  may  be  in  some  of 
the  materials  used.  If  a  manufacturer  uses  sulfate  of  potash  and  uses 
a  tankage  with  it  containing  a  large  amount  of  chlorin,  from  a  practical 
standpoint  he  has  lowered  the  grade  of  his  fertilizer  just  as  much  as  if 
he  had  used  muriate  of  potash  instead  of  sulfate  of  potash.  Chlorin 
from  all  other  sources  is  as  objectionable  as  from  muriate  of  potash. 
However,  if  muriate  of  potash  is  found  when  sulfate  is  guaranteed,  the 
fact  will  be  published. 

The  following  abbreviations  are  used  in  the  tables:  Bl  ==  blood, 
Bn  ==  bone,  Fs  ==  fish,  G  =  guano,  H  =  hoof,  Min.  Phos.  =  mineral 
phosphate,  Super  ==  superphosphates,  T  =  tankage,  CSM  =  cotton  seed 
meal. 

Guarantees  are  entered  in  italics.  Deficiencies  greater  than  allowed 
by  law  are  entered  in  bold  type.
